6 years and the country was still adapting to kick out the corrupt western governments and their corrupt culture. Anyone from germany should know how corrupt the entire west really was back then. And it's worse now. They have honest elections in iran, a president and a parliament, and in the west you are controlled and punished for violating the political correctness imposed by their governments. the only real difference is that Iran upholds cultural and social values that protect the society instead of destroying it.

The shah did arrest thousands and unalived thousands of people, so he was repressive. He forced lobotomies on any opposition that was an intellectual. Torturing anybody he suspected. Not including spending hundreds of million dollars on a party while people were starving. I’m just now learning Iranian history and the shah was not a saint nor did he have a democracy. He ran a brutal dictatorship

Same in America.

America? Lies

@@leonorhernandez7079 Everybody lies -> Toni: "I didn't steal the chips !" Ras-Putin: "I did not kill Prigoschin, Nawalny, etc.! SEE the difference !

That is very interesting. Lobotomies had been a popular remedy in the US for decades for controling "unruly" people. I understand that even president JFK had a sister who was lobotomised.

@@hensonlaura I know he had a sister institutionalized. I may remember something about that...now that you mention it. Iran was very dangerous back then...but I was immersed in the locals who protected me. My POV certainly wasn't that of a tourist. I had never seen such poverty...which I guess just confirms this video...people were so , so poor. It was a real culture shock.

@@hensonlaura Lobotomies are actually still done to this day - Thankfully in almost all cases a modified and modern version to treat epileptic seizures, and ideally without causing lasting behavioral changes. However I will add, that the atypical antipsychotic class of drugs we use to this day, was originally marketed as a "chemical lobotomy" before lobotomies fell out of favor. We haven't gotten much further. Electroconvulsive therapy has a good prognosis for some cases, it's often the best we've got - Have a look at a video of such a therapy session and tell me we won't be calling it barbaric in a couple decades.

But what have you learned?

@@livinglife4835 I am not into politics. I liked reading history back then and I still do. It is amusing for me to imagine what life might have been like during certain historical periods. You realize that the Persian nation has written history that is as old as 2500 years ago. It is hard to find out what armies looked like back then, what music was being played when soldiers were getting ready for battle or marching, etc. So a lot of research went into exploring what the Persian armies looked like through centuries. Associating those images on TV with what I had read or would be reading in my school books was a visual learning experience--in my humble opinion. Things such as the arms that were used, the ships, the music that was being played, grooming fashion, clothing fashion, the army salute, the way arm were being held---everything just brought it together for me. The Achaemenid Dynasty was specially celebrated at that time. The whole parade and the celebrations take place in Persepolis and the surrounding area. Even watching the parade now--on KZfaq--, makes me realize that a lot of research went into getting ready for this parade; down to the music that was being played during battles. You realize that during its history, Persian got invaded 3 times by different nations. Each invasion lasting centuries and many of the historical artifacts were destroyed during these invasions. FYI..... Greek invasion, Mongolian invasion and the Arab Invasion. Anyway, if you notice, the last group that marches in the parade is the Iranian women in the armed forces. Well....this is just my perspective--someone who likes reading Persian history. Have a good day!

i agree, but it wasnt the shah who thought this. it was europeans throughout history. @@helmutschillinger3140

Thanks, I caught that and wondered, "What the hay?"

This is explained in the video at 14:33 Officially it was a constitutional monarchy (as written in Iran's constitution) but was executed as absolute monarchy. In 1952, 1953 the PM at the time wanted to implement the constitution and the Shah had to leave the country. The PM was then overthrown in a coup (with involvement of UK and US) and the Shah kept his absolute power. Barbara was very likely referring to the written constitution and not to the actual type of government. Absolute monarchies normal don't have parlament and elections. This is similar to all current countries that have defacto dictatorship but are officially democracies, like China, Russia, Turkey, ...

Barbara does not give a definition of a constitutional monarchy. She describes how Shah Mohammed Reza rules. Shah Reza was the last king of Iran. Barbara is right: by law, Iran was a constitutional monarchy, in reality however the shah exercised his powers as if he was an absolute monarch. The revolution in Iran in 1979 put the monarchy to an end, and what happened after that we all know.

And today?

@@stefanschleps8758 today shes an old lady or dead wherever she decided to live. It sounds like she was a foreigner snd if so likely was forced to leave once the revolution started to expel westerners

Sir, we had ladies walking on streets in Kabul, Afghanistan in 70s.. in midis and mini skirts; they would have stopped if they were being preyed on. But know the society did not prey on them. but know they just want to kill because they can. See the state of governance there today.. Afghanistan actually managed to keep their culture alive all through this.. and understand, not religion, but culture. For an Afghani or Pathan, Culture and decency are pre-conditions to enter into any religious discussion.

@@deborahdean8867 Rubbish, everywhere on the internet you can find how life was before sharia for iranians. they lived peacefully, happily, women wore mini skirts, bikinis, showed off their gorgeous hair. it was sharia that spolied everything for iranians. stop spreading your uninformed drivel.

unfortunately the monarchy made politics only for the rich. They had ignored the poor majority of the population or . There were also many political prisoners. As soon as someone demanded social reforms, they were in danger of being imprisoned and tortured. The anger built up there and the islamists had an easy game because of such a divided society.

Of course he did- holding the reign of Iran's religious fanatics gave and allowed Khomenei's party to take and hold power indefinitely. He was a canny Politician above all things.

Yah, talk about oppression the Ayatollahs are super fucked up. They're also supporting Terrorists like Hamas and stealing from the people. At least there was some freedom under the Shah.

I met a few families of Jewish people who had to leave Iran when the Ayatollahs took over Iran. When the Shah was there he was good for al religions.The Shah lived in opulence and forgot the poor people. That was his big mistake. That's what led people to go back to basics and Religious Fundamentalism. Since the Ayatollahs took over, women lost rights and their politics are nuts.

I live in India, an Indian. Are you here for poverty tourism? Don't mind me, i don't want to sound rude, just curious.

@@existentialbaby not at all. "Poverty tourism"! What sort of weird concept is that! I live in Mumbai surrounded by very poor, as well as by one of the richest people on the planet, extremely affluent people, who might very well be practising "poverty tourism" as you call it, when they come out of their town palaces, (they have no clue about what's happening outside their super duper rich people's life btw). But one cannot deny that there are in India extremely rich people, as well as a very large amount of extremely poor people, a level of poverty I had never been exposed to before back in my country. When I hear stories of my maids coming from say UP or Bihar villages, you really get to understand how they feel. I am very close to my maid and she has been sharing with me a lot of fun and much less fun aspects of her life as well. Life is tough in Indian remote villages, everyone knows it. And when these people seek a better life in Indian metrocities, they have to go through a lot too.

@irenedhakde4692 Thank you for sharing your experiences. Like i told you, I'm indian and i come from UP. I am surrounded by poverty from every direction. I know what you're talking about.

Smokey and the Bandit was released in 1977. Being how Burt Reynolds with his mustache appeared Persian, it's no coincidence those Iranian students wanted their own Bandit exuding loud American V8 bravado. Also, Oliver North wasn't a General. He was a Lietenant Colonel (O-5). He was middle management tasked to do a job on a need-to-know basis. He was set up as the fall guy with plenty of plausible deniability between him and Reagan. You working in the US Navy with Top Secret information about the adversary and allied submarine capabilities know how that goes. North WAS convicted of three felonies (after being indicted on 16 felony counts). The following were copied and pasted from Wikipedia ... His three felony convictions were accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service. North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in southeast Washington, DC. However, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, North appealed his conviction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On July 20, 1990, the D.C. Circuit vacated North's convictions on the ground that witnesses in his trial might have been impermissibly affected by his immunized congressional testimony. The individual members of the prosecution team had isolated themselves from news reports and discussion of North's testimony, and while the defense could show no specific instance in which North's congressional testimony was used in his trial, the Court of Appeals ruled that the trial judge had made an insufficient examination of the issue. Consequently, North's convictions were reversed. After further hearings on the immunity issue, Judge Gesell dismissed all charges against North on September 16, 1991.

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. I'm guessing that some people don't view the complete breakdown of morals, modesty, the traditional family and gender roles as progress. I'm sure that many decent people over there look upon the west in absolute horror, or even with pity, as they watch our society degrade into some sort of horrific clown show, cheering for filthy parades of near naked perverts in the streets, forcing the "superior virtues" of unnatural carnal practices upon anyone we encounter...even our own children! Depending on one's perspective, a debate on where the greater societal illness resides would not be unfounded.

Sadly in life nothing is perfect. I have met people who fled, to this day , 2023, they are still afraid, talk with people there, see property they lost.

All these contrived lies were propagated by the Islamists, and the Communists whose terrorists were assassinating US and Iranian personnel on the direct orders from the KGB.

Instead of suffering from monarchical repression, people suffer under theocratic oppression. Same tortures, different rationale.

If the US had kept ots greedy hands off of the nation of iran and them jsd not imposed planetary sanctions things could have been much better. Iran isnt a theocracy by the way. They have a parliament, a president. Educate yourself instead of believing everything is controlled media propagandized you with.

Lessons learned - its never good to throw down any monarchy..

Probably you would never understand or maybe you will but Persia is a secular society and culture. Globalization will never succeed in some regions of the world. The Shah's attempt was furious and didn't take into consideration the fact that society can't be changed so dramatically so fast without violent backlash. He was a foul regarding how he handled with Ayatollah Komenei from the start.

Mossadegh was best. He would have modernized without cruelty like the current mess. But not been decadent & entitled like this Shah

Wherever in the world you find a muslim theocracy in power, you find grinding poverty, brutal oppression, especially of women, and corruption. This cost the Iranian people much more than that party did.

As an Iranian myself, I can only confirm this and thank you. Our history is indeed amazing, and yet so sad. It's basically a tragedy. And what makes it more tragic is that the both time my country lost its glory were due to Islam. The first one when Arabs invaded our great empire and forced Islam to us, and the second time when the Islamic Revolution happened and ever since then we are living in darkness. The only good thing about this history probably is that we've finally learned from our mistakes: Never again will people of Iran trust Muslims and their sweet lies.

Iran invented Algebra to start with. A lot of fundamental stuff to the success of our entire species came out of there that we all take for granted today. It's 5,000 + years old.

The Shah and Ceausescu were *such* little fellas...

thats why they got sacked! you cant rule a country that show the rest of the world that you are not even in huge national debt, but you are thriving. this is not allowed by the powers that were. but of course you can tell what story you want and have the power to twist truth for your own gain. @@jennysaranac4454

I'm afraid this is very true

True words

Get the impression that they are enemies? Iran's entire "congress" chanting "Death to America" is just a ruse? I agree with much of what you wrote... however to suggest that they are NOT enemies is a bit much...

The English queen had middle eastern genes

That would be amazing. They have a beautiful culture. The most advanced civilization in the world imo

The Shah was a fool.

I don't think they make these, just posting other people's work.

Could be easily one of the wealthiest and properous countries today. I do not know what brought it down, maybe radical Islam... idk its a mystery to me.

Not at all. It is the false interpretation of Islam. Look at Saudi Arabia, a Islamic fundamentalist country and it is one of the most wealthiest if not the wealthiest Islamic country on earth. Islam has nothing to do with Iran's problems. Unjustified sanctions might be it tough. Forcing women to wear the veil is not acceptable tough, but Saudi Arabia does it also yet it is much more severe in Saudi Arabia. You cannot even enter the city of Meccah if you aren't a Muslim. @@infiniteshoeblack

@@user-th5ui4ib3y It always is, ISLAM = FASCISM

​@@user-th5ui4ib3yIt was the Ayatolah. Many Iranians followed the Bahai religion and were persecuted by the Ayatolah Khomeini and they tried to force the Bahais to become Muslim. They refused and were imprisoned and persecuted. Those who were well educated and could afford to, fled en mass and went to live in other countries in the West. I met many of them here in South Africa and Namibia which was called South West Africa at that time. President Reagsn of USA used to speak of the plight of the Bahais in Iran. This same situation is what made the Shah flee just as the Bahais had to flee if they could. Lovely well educated people.

@@coshyno I do not think Saudi Arabia is a good example, they are wealthy because of oil but other than that I do not know of many products or innovations coming from that country tbh. The majority of Islamic countries in Africa and Asia is actually quite poor.

I had assumed that this vid was going to be about Burning Man

This *_is_* Burning Man, you guys... Zedd is on after the Shah's speech.

can you please provide me a list of Ancient Persian cuisine from 2500 years ago?

If by that you are mocking my Cyrus the Great grave-tossing image, it is generally assumed in such metaphors that the tormented deceased has knowledge of everything that happened since his demise, including the obvious present. So it can include everything that happened in 2.500 years, not necessarily how it was when he died.@@MiladJP

It's only normal for those who can afford the best to get the best; they wouldn't serve asses milk & honeyed locusts, haha.

By best you mean - expensive, there is no BEST here. And great job insulting Persians with those examples. @@hensonlaura

I prefer Locust ass and honeyed milk. @@hensonlaura

Sport Event are for the people, and even the people are making the sports. Here the Shah said to his starving people " EVERYBODY DANCE NOW"

Do you think it's any better these days. We are forced to pay Ukraine's and Israel's bombs by taxes while our own countries need the tax money
